i put plastic bushing at many of the metal-on-metal moving parts. The table rotates good and all the movements seems to be moving smoothly. I didn't run the pump full open on the test setup cause i didn't clamp the hoses, but everything seem to hold up and no leaks. I now have to rearrange some of the electronics so everything fits. Then its time to break everything down and prime and paint.

Hey rob do you do laundry? In all your builds they seem to end up on the washer and dryer.

Well, while working on the KAT, I let Jeanie out the bottle this afternoon....pink, white, gray....pretty colors.....looked like crayola exploded in the room....had a spare ECS on the shelf though..



Everything all tucked in and heat-shrinked really good this time.



And she lives!

After getting all the helpful info from the fellows, i was able to figure out how to set the pump up. So far i am happy with the setup. The valves hold very good.
